"Beep. Brain domain breadth greater than 30, detected Domain energy, Apprentice Level, conditions met, transmission beginning." Following this, a surge of energy shot up from ten thousand meters beneath Mount Everest.
Accompanying this energy, patterns appeared on Mount Everest, and a strange energy formed a complex secret method pattern on the summit!
Standing on the peak of Mount Everest, Qin Hao looked at everything around him—a sea of clouds. This was truly the state of "looking down on all mountains."
Just as Qin Hao was immersed in the scenery of the mountain peak, a flash of light pulsed beneath his feet, space shifted, and everything around him completely vanished. Qin Hao's figure had disappeared from the summit.
"Where is this?" The scenery around Mount Everest vanished, and Qin Hao looked at everything around him. Shattered mountains and Earth, and above the sky, there were many broken stars, each no smaller than Earth.
And Qin Hao's location was precisely outside a grand hall. The hall before him was thousands of meters tall, significantly taller than Mount Everest. Cracks covered the hall's surroundings, as if it could collapse at any moment. The main entrance had completely shattered and disappeared; looking inside through the entrance, at the center of the hall was a massive throne, a thousand meters high.
Carefully stepping into the grand hall, Qin Hao surveyed everything around him. To be able to directly transfer him from the peak of Mount Everest to here, the only thing Qin Hao could think of was Space Law. To apply Space Law in such a way, it was not a Universe Exalt, but at least a Champion strong one.
"Welcome, Qin Hao!" A clear, cold voice echoed within the grand hall.
"Who are you, and what is this place?"
"This is my master's Divine Kingdom, and I am Gu, its administrator!" As he spoke, an old man with white hair and a white beard appeared before Qin Hao.
"After countless years, I have finally waited for you, the successor of Origin Star," the old man said, looking at Qin Hao.
"Origin Star?!" Qin Hao was greatly shocked in his heart. Origin Star was the name of an era on Earth. Hearing this name now, Qin Hao couldn't help but feel very puzzled, not expecting that the legacy of Origin Star still existed.
"Origin Star was destroyed in the last era, and my master, Source Star King, has also fallen. Before his demise, the master transferred the Divine Kingdom into Origin Star, awaiting the appearance of a successor. Now the master's Divine Kingdom is on the verge of complete collapse, and finally, the successor has appeared." As if seeing Qin Hao's confusion, Gu slowly explained.
"You only have one year to undergo the assessment. If you fail, you will be destroyed along with the Divine Kingdom." After speaking, Gu walked towards the back of the hall.
Qin Hao wanted to ask about the content of the assessment, but seeing Gu walking towards the back hall, he quickly followed. Along the way, he observed the magnificent palace, which still permeated with a majestic aura and powerful pressure, filling his heart with shock and excitement.
"Is this the aura of an Undying?" Although only residual, the power of an Undying aura, for Qin Hao, who was still just an Apprentice, this power was still extremely formidable. Qin Hao even wondered if those with weaker mental fortitude could withstand the mental pressure brought by this power.
Entering the back hall, Qin Hao followed Gu into a massive back hall, which was even grander than the front hall. In fact, the moment he entered the back hall, Qin Hao felt a slight sense of disorientation.
"These six Enlightenment Tablets are the legacy left by the master. They are modeled after the Human Race's secret treasure, the chaos tablet. Although their effect is only one percent of the chaos tablet's, they are unique in the entire universe." Gu's tone was filled with pride.
"Your assessment content is to fully comprehend the content of the first stone tablet and pass the assessment in the Virtual Space," Gu said. "Although the assessment time is only one year, this hall has been specially processed by the master to slow down time by 10 times, so you don't have to worry about disappearing for a long time."
"Oh, and you're still just an Apprentice. Here's a mu ya crystal that can help you break through to Planetary Level." As he spoke, a mu ya crystal appeared before Qin Hao. A scent of rice made Qin Hao feel a desire to devour the mu ya crystal before him.
After Qin Hao took the mu ya crystal, Gu's figure directly vanished.
"I hope he can pass the trial!" In the depths of the hall, Gu's eyes were filled with sorrow.
In the back hall, Qin Hao held the mu ya crystal in his hand, not absorbing it immediately, but carefully observing the state of the hall. Besides the six Enlightenment Tablets, there were also many books.
"Basic Martial Warrior 216 Forms," "Domain Initial Decipher," "Five Elements secret method," "Nine-Nine Body Forging"...
Each of these secret manuals was not overly profound, but they were exactly what Qin Hao needed most at the moment, especially the secret manual explaining the first Enlightenment Tablet.
After surveying the secret manuals, Qin Hao turned his attention to the Enlightenment Tablets. Of the six Enlightenment Tablets, five were blurred, with only the first Enlightenment Tablet displaying clear lines before Qin Hao. These lines were very simple yet profound.
The moment Qin Hao saw them, he was involuntarily drawn to the lines, becoming immersed in the profound aura.
The questions in Qin Hao's mind began to be guided out by the lines at this moment, and new insights gradually emerged. However, this process did not last long before Qin Hao awoke.
"My strength is still too weak. It seems I need to advance to Planetary Level first." After waking up, Qin Hao also realized that an Apprentice's strength was too weak. The content of the first image was not profound, but rather about the comprehension of the Domain, and Qin Hao felt a very complex aura from it.
"Breakthrough first." Qin Hao took the mu ya crystal, went to the cultivation area of the grand hall, sat down cross-legged, and began to cultivate.
One mu ya crystal was enough to create a Planetary Level strong one. As Qin Hao began to cultivate, the energy of the mu ya crystal was continuously absorbed. Qin Hao's body began to transform; the genetic yuan energy and cosmic energy within his body began to converge, accelerating continuously under the blessing of the mu ya crystal's energy.
The transformation of his body surprised Qin Hao; this phenomenon was somewhat similar to the process of a acquired body returning to its innate state in novels. However, there was no time for Qin Hao to delve deeply into it now; he completely focused his attention on the breakthrough.
"Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh" Cosmic energy, genetic original energy, and the pure life energy of the mu ya crystal converged around Qin Hao's body, forming a huge vortex. Once formed, the vortex continuously absorbed all surrounding energy, washing over Qin Hao's body and integrating into every cell, driving the transformation of Qin Hao's body.
At the location of Qin Hao's dantian, energy continuously converged, gradually solidifying into a tiny planet. After this planet formed, the speed of energy absorption rapidly increased.
The planet continuously expanded, contracted, then expanded again, then contracted again. Within the pure energy, red, golden, green, yellow, and blue energies continuously merged into the planet. There were even traces of golden and silver energies merging in.
